This training program is provided in partnership with the University of Victoria and the Quantum Algorithms Institute.
The Quantum Software Engineering Bootcamp is an online intensive program designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to develop quantum software using Python, Qiskit, Git, and Docker. The Bootcamp is designed for a wide range of participants who need the skills to excel in the field of quantum computing―especially programmers looking to gain skills and knowledge necessary to develop, test, and deploy quantum software.
WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR?
TIME COMMITMENT & CURRICULUM
Over the course of three weeks, with deliberate breaks to facilitate deeper learning, attendees will engage with a triad of core subjects:
Quantum Computing Foundations & Algorithms
Python and Qiskit Programming
Specialized Quantum Software Engineering Principles & Tools
Each week, participants will receive 15 hours of targeted instruction from a team of experienced instructors, ensuring a well-rounded approach that blends theory with hands-on practice. The curriculum is designed to run in parallel, offering a continuous thread of knowledge in quantum algorithms, Python/Qiskit development, and software engineering techniques. This approach guarantees that students not only learn the essential constructs of quantum computing but also how to implement these concepts through Python and Qiskit, and how to integrate them into real-world quantum-classical software projects.
